Wenn Der Staat Tötet: Todesstrafe in Japan
WENN DER STAAT T ÖTET TODESSTRAFE IN JAPAN STAND 21. APRIL 2021 TODESSTRAFE IN JAPAN SEITE 2 / 10 TODESSTRAFE IN JAPAN Japan ist einer von weltweit nur noch zwei hoch industrialisierten Staaten, in dem weiterhin Todesur- teile vollstreckt werden (der andere sind die USA). Im Durchschnitt werden wenige Gefangene im Jahr hingerichtet. Seit 1992 blieben nur die Jahre 2011 und 2020 gänzlich ohne Hinrichtungen. Die Haft- bedingungen in den Todestrakten sind hart und geprägt von Isolation und strikter Disziplin. Hinrichtungen finden im Geheimen statt. Todeszelleninsassen erfahren von ihrer Hinrichtung erst am Morgen desselben Tages. Die Gefangenen müssen in der ständigen Angst leben, dass der nächste Tag ihr letzter sein kann. ANZAHL DER HINRICHTUNGEN Von 1945 bis Ende Dezember 2020 wurden 714 Menschen gehenkt, wobei auf den Zeitraum 1980 bis Ende 2020 insgesamt 148 Hinrichtungen entfallen. Im März 1993 endete in Japan ein De-facto-Hinrichtungsmoratorium, welches mehr als drei Jahre lang Bestand gehabt hatte. Seit 2005 nahmen die jährlichen Hinrichtungen zu, obwohl die Zahl der Tö- tungsdelikte im Land rückläufig war und auf den niedrigsten Wert seit dem Zweiten Weltkrieg sank.

The Death Penalty/死刑 (日本政府報告書パラ5)
Submission to the Committee against Torture 50th session (May 2013) by Center for Prisoners' Rights and International Federation for Human Rights Contact: [email protected] Japan: current state of the death penalty The death penalty A.Facts and Figures 1. Since 2007 when the CAT reviewed Japan’s report for the first time, Japan has executed 43 people, including one woman (Table 1). On August 30th, 2009, the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) won the general election and seized political power for the first time. Then, the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) won the elections on December 16th, 2012 and became ruling party once again. Among the 43, 34 were executed by a LDP-led government, and 9 by the DPJ. Although no execution was carried out in 2011, on March 29th, 2012, Justice Minister Toshio Ogawa ordered the execution of three death row inmates. As a response to the growing death row population (Table 2), conservative voices within the LDP, as well as some media, have for the past months been calling for executions on regular basis. The current Justice Minister Sadakazu Tanigaki ordered executions of three inmates only two months after assuming office on December 26th, 2012. In 2012, Japan was part of the 21 countries which have carried out judicial executions in the world.
